WHAT TO DO WITH THE LEFTOVERS
- FRIDGE – Store salad in an air-tight container; I love putting leftover salad in a mason jar for a quick lunch the next day. This salad will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sure, fresh dill is a great substitute. If you go this route, I suggest using lemon juice in place of lime to compliment the flavor; parsley is another tasty alternative to freshen up our cucumber avocado and tomato salad.
Sure, make it the day before, but I suggest leaving the avocado out of it. When you’re ready to serve, cut your avocado and fold the pieces into the rest of your salad.
